OK, now for the particulars....

It's a Rusty's spring/shock lift with about 71,000 miles on it. I added a two conduit nut clevis lift after the bumper install because the springs have sagged terribly.

The wheels are Cragar Soft 8's in a 15x8 with 4" of backspacing wearing Goodyear MTs 31x10.5x15.

I've got ALL the skids on it plus Boiler's little rad support to Front Suspension skid filler plate, an ARB Bull bar with a Warn M8000 hiding inside.

I'm at about 21" from hub centre to fender flair.

Good news....

Coming in the mail are a pair of OME790s a pair of OME948s and some Rancho RSX17505. The rear shocks are a year old. They are Skyjacker N8088s. I've also got a pile of rubber bits and bushings coming too.

With the new bits I expect to hit at least 23" hub to flair all around. I kept my old CV shafts after the torn boot incident and they have been machined by a friend of mine. He worked for beer, it's all good. New inner CV boots are in with the pile of rubber bits I ordered.

New pics in May sometime!!

These are 245-75-16 Goodyear M/T R Kevlar tires.
Most excellent rubber.
Don't have anything bad to say about them...
But...
Next time around, I'll be buying 265-75-16 Goodyear M/T R Kevlar tires.

And re-gearing to suit!
And most likely a JBA Steel front differential.

Can I ask what's with the swirl on the turn signal of the stock KJ? Lol...

 

[ptsb5a]

LTT, I was gonna ask about CV binding at that height but thought better of it.

 

[Midgear]

what's the max height recommended before you start ruining cv axles?

 

[autoboy454]

i gotta get some recent pictures of my KJ so I can post em up. Also have a set of MANTIRES lined up on some pretty "rockin" rims!

 

[tommudd]

what's the max height recommended before you start ruining cv axles?

You are pretty much safe at 23-23.25
I have had mine higher but there was some binding from the CVs ( was at 24 at the time) I try to keep them at 22.75-23 to be on the safe side

Looked like he swirled out the plates, maybe accidentally clicked on the turn signal...

And rockymountain's!
Red with Black, or Red with Grey really works together.
All the other ones here look wicked as well!

 

[ridenby]

The more I see the 15in wheels with 4in bs the more I like that route,LOTS more tire options,and cheaper.

Agreed, I read that you're more likely to make a magazine if you're red....
